At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"Hongyan Tower?"

Finally, Xu Wan'er couldn't help but let out a surprised cry.

At this moment, at the most prosperous location on the entire street, there was a three-story restaurant with bright lights on.

On the plaque hanging in the restaurant, three large characters are clearly engraved: Hongyanlou!

Xia Yun was extremely familiar with those three big characters, because those three big characters were written by him personally in Hongyan Tower in Hangzhou City that day!

Could it be that Qian Dajun opened Hongyanlou to Ningdu City?

Xia Yun and the others were undecided for a moment and went forward to check.

However, when Xia Yun and others appeared at the gate of Hongyan Building, they indeed saw a familiar figure welcoming and seeing off people.

"Qian Dajun, it's really him!"

Chong Heihu showed a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, and then he burst into laughter.

Since arriving in Ningdu City, they have been busy with various tasks assigned by Xia Yun and have not had a decent meal yet.

When they were in Hangzhou city, their favorite food was the food at Hongyanlou!

"Greetings to the Governor and all the gentlemen, Old Qian is here to greet you!"

As Chong Heihu's laughter spread ten meters away, Qian Dajun also noticed Xia Yun and his group.

But there was no shock on his face.

On the contrary, after seeing Xia Yun and his group, Qian Dajun walked calmly and calmly to Xia Yu, step by step, as if he had expected it.

And he bowed deeply and respectfully.

"Manager Qian, we meet again."

A rare smile appeared on Xia Yun's face.

Although he had been away from Zhejiang for less than a month, meeting Qian Dajun here gave him a sense of intimacy as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land.

"Thanks to the Governor's kindness, my business is booming in Hangzhou. I heard that you were transferred to Nanzhili. I am worried that the food here will not suit your taste, so I opened a branch in Ningdu."

Qian Dajun gave the answer he had prepared long ago.

This is also what he thinks.

Ever since he learned that Xia Yun was about to leave Zhejiang and be transferred to Ningdu, he had been wondering whether to follow Xia Yun.

After careful consideration, he finally came to Ningdu in person and opened a Hongyanlou branch there.

In fact, this restaurant just opened five days ago.

He knew that he would meet Xia Yun again sooner or later, so when he saw Xia Yun and his group just now, he did not show any shock on his face.

"Manager Qian, you are so thoughtful. Please prepare the food quickly. I am so hungry!"

Chong Heihu walked up and patted Qian Dajun on the shoulder, laughing and saying.

"In this Grand Banquet Building, a room has been specially prepared for you, the adults. We are waiting for you to arrive at any time."

Qian Dajun bowed slightly. In order to welcome Xia Yun's arrival, he had already made all the necessary preparations.

"Manager Qian, thank you for your concern."

Xu Wan'er smiled and nodded. At this moment, she felt a rare sense of relaxation and peace in her heart.

They know Qian Dajun very well.

When a large-scale famine occurred in Hangzhou, Qian's army approached many of the victims in the city.

Later, when they arrived in Hangzhou, Qian Dajun was extremely cooperative and contributed to the famine relief process.

"Governor, gentlemen, it's hot outside, please come in."

Qian Dajun made a respectful invitation gesture.

Xia Yun and his group were then taken into Hongyan Building, and then went straight to the third floor and entered a luxurious box facing the street.

"Well, it's really good, Shopkeeper Qian, your aesthetic level is improving very quickly."

Inside the box, everyone looked around and was very satisfied with the various arrangements. The large amount of blue and white porcelain and bonsai decorations gave the room a fresh and elegant style.

"Master Xu, you are joking. No matter how much I improve, I will never be as good as you, Master."

Qian Dajun laughed.

When she was in Hangzhou, Xu Wan'er once complained that the original Hongyanlou was quite rustic and its decoration style was like that of a nouveau riche.

That's why.

Qian Dajun later rebuilt a brand new Hongyan Tower in Hangzhou city.

It has a luxurious feel while retaining the sentimentality of literati.

Soon, Qian Dajun respectfully left the box and started preparing the meal.

Xia Yun and his group of seven or eight people sat down in the box.

"This restaurant's business is pretty good. If it can be promoted nationwide and become a famous brand, that would be great."

Suddenly, Xu Wan'er spoke out of the blue.

"Master Xu is right. If we can open more restaurants, we can have a stable supplier of the summer grass brewed in Shanyin County."

Qin Tianye nodded in agreement.

He was not very familiar with business matters, but in the past few days, he had been coordinating various tasks in Shanyin County, including the liquor industry that Xia Yun had just acquired.

According to the time calculation, it will take at most ten days for Shanyin County Winery to produce the first batch of Xiamao wine.

"This is a good idea, and Manager Qian is also a good person."

Chong Heihu didn’t understand that much. He only knew that the more restaurants he opened, the faster he could make money.

Xia Yun was lost in deep thought.

Xu Wan'er's sudden idea did make him a little excited.

The main reason why he had never tried to do this before was because he did not have suitable talents under his command.

Although Qin Shun is also engaged in the restaurant industry, his position is quite special. He must be in the Fenglai Inn in the capital as the incarnation of Xia Yun.

Responsible for all business dealings with Xiao Ling'er.

Now it seems that Qian Dajun is a very suitable candidate.

If we calculate the net profit of a Hongyan Restaurant at 100,000 taels of silver per year, ten restaurants would make 1 million taels, and one hundred restaurants would make 10 million taels!

Although there will be various unexpected losses and expenses in the actual operation process.

But excluding this part, opening one hundred Hongyanlou restaurants would bring in at least seven or eight million taels of silver a year.

However, Xia Yun soon thought of a new problem. The Daliang Dynasty did not have so many wealthy counties.

The calculation method he just used was based on the Hongyan Tower in Hangzhou city as a specimen.

However, not every Hongyanlou in every city can achieve the same level of revenue as Hangzhou.

If this factor is taken into account, the final profit that can be generated by one hundred Hongyanlou restaurants is probably around five or six million taels of silver.

After much deliberation, Xia Yun made the final decision in his heart.

"Wan'er, I'll leave this matter to you. Talk to Manager Qian about cooperation. Invest silver in the construction of Hongyan Buildings across the country, and let Qian Dajun be the chief manager."

Xia Yun spoke slowly, word by word.
